Spray-Painted Doors

Spray application produces a level, consistent finish that brushwork cannot match on large flat surfaces. Roller marks, brush lines, and stipple are eliminated.

We remove cabinet doors, spray them in a controlled environment, and reinstall once fully cured. We use two-pack or single-pack acrylic systems depending on the surface material and durability required.

Solid Wood vs MDF Cabinets

Solid wood and MDF behave differently under paint. Solid wood expands and contracts with humidity, while MDF does not move but is highly absorbent at cut edges.

For solid wood cabinets, we use flexible primer systems with sufficient elasticity for minor movement. For MDF, we seal all exposed edges with edge sealant before priming to prevent bleed-through.

Colour Selection

Colour choice affects how the kitchen reads against adjacent worktops, flooring, and wall colour. We advise on tones that work with the property period and your preferences.

Period kitchens in Kew TW9 and Richmond TW9 often suit heritage shades. Modern Twickenham refits frequently use bold navy or forest green. We bring colour swatches and advise before ordering.

Cabinet Painting vs Replacement

Replacement kitchen costs typically start at £8,000 and rise significantly for fitted Edwardian or Victorian originals. Cabinet painting achieves a comparable visual transformation for a fraction of that cost.

Painting is the right choice when cabinet carcasses are structurally sound and doors are flat and undamaged. We give honest advice at the quotation stage.

Worktops and Carcasses

Some clients want exposed carcass sides, kick boards, and mid-rail sections painted to match the doors. We include these in the agreed scope.

Worktop paint is a specialist product. We advise honestly on the limitations of painted worktops — heat, moisture, and daily cutting all affect longevity.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting Costs in London

Cabinet painting costs depend on the number of doors, surface condition, and the finish system required. Prices below are estimates — call 020 4572 8995 for a precise quote.

Number of Doors and Drawers

Larger kitchens with more units cost more. Island units, larder cabinets, and tall pantry doors each add to the door count and overall price.

Existing Coating Condition

Multiple layers of old oil gloss require a thorough degrease, key sand, and specialist primer before any new finish will bond. This preparation adds time and cost to the project.

Finish System

Two-pack spray finishes are more durable and more expensive than single-pack alternatives. We advise on which is appropriate for your kitchen and usage pattern.

Typical Price Ranges

A kitchen cabinet respray in a Kew TW9 Edwardian property typically costs £2,000 to £3,200. A cabinet repaint in a Barnes double-fronted Victorian typically costs £2,200 to £3,800.

Here’s How It Works

1. Site Visit and Assessment

We inspect cabinet condition, surface type, and existing coating. We confirm whether a spray finish is appropriate or whether a brush-and-roller approach better suits the doors.

2. Degreasing and Preparation

All surfaces are thoroughly degreased. Old gloss is keyed. Any damaged areas are filled and sanded. Two-part primer is applied where required for adhesion.

3. Door Removal and Spray

Doors are removed and sprayed off-site or in a contained area within the property. We allow full cure time between coats.

4. Carcass and Frame Painting

Cabinet frames, carcass sides, and kick boards are painted in place using a fine finish roller or brush. Masking protects worktops and walls throughout.

5. Reinstallation and Inspection

Doors are rehung and hardware refitted. We check all doors open and close correctly and inspect the full kitchen in good light before leaving.
